This research aims to identify and examine the emergency preparedness of nurses in hospitals in dealing with disasters through the literature review method. Hospitals have an important role in disaster preparedness and management, because they must be able to provide a quick and effective response to emergency situations caused by disasters. Data were collected from articles and national journals published in the last 10 years, using related keywords such as "nurse preparedness", "emergency", "disaster management in hospitals", and "disaster training for nurses". Analysis was carried out on 30 articles that met the inclusion criteria. The research results show that nurses' knowledge of disaster management is still inadequate, even though many have basic knowledge of emergency protocols. Practical skills obtained through training and disaster simulations have a big influence on nurses' preparedness, but opportunities to take part in this training are not evenly distributed. Nurses' perceptions regarding hospital preparedness and themselves show that many feel that hospitals are not fully prepared to face major disasters. Hospital management support and access to relevant information are also important factors influencing nurse preparedness. Recommendations from this research include increasing routine disaster training and simulation programs, developing formal education curricula on disaster management, increasing hospital management support, utilizing information technology for quick access to disaster information, as well as monitoring and evaluating preparedness on a regular basis. By implementing these recommendations, it is hoped that nurses' preparedness in facing disasters can be improved, so that they are able to provide a fast and effective response in emergency situations, as well as improve patient safety.

Fires in residential areas usually occur in densely populated areas. Rawa Buaya Village is a sub-district in West Jakarta City which has a fairly high population density and there is also a densely populated settlement located at RT.016/RW.04 with 445 families. This settlement experienced fire disasters five times in 2008, 2009, 2015, and twice in 2022. The aim of the research is to describe community preparedness to reduce the risk of fire as well as factors that support and inhibit community preparedness. This research uses descriptive methods through a qualitative approach. The results of the research show that 40% of the community knows that the cause of fires is due to human negligence, 81% have the desire to prevent fires, 76% have an agreement between the Head of the RT and the community, 74% have determined the evacuation location for victims, 67% do not know the evacuation route board, 91% have the desire to to help their relatives, 62% only knew that a fire simulation had been carried out once, 74% had no early warning system, and 60% had not prepared an emergency fund. So it was concluded that the community was sufficiently prepared to face fires by knowing the causes and things to prevent fires, having an agreement to prepare evacuation locations, helping relatives and participating in disaster simulations, but the vulnerability of the living environment was a factor that triggered fires.  

Disaster management is a series of activities carried out in the context of prevention, mitigation, preparedness, emergency response and recovery efforts related to disasters. Disaster management is carried out with the aim of reducing losses and risks that may occur and speeding up the post-disaster recovery process. The implementation of disaster management is very necessary for the people of Cibenda Village because the village is located in a disaster-prone area. The target of this activity is the people of Cibenda Village and its surroundings. The methods used are interactive lectures, discussions and simulations as appropriate methods to provide understanding to the public. Meanwhile, location surveys are carried out to find out evacuation routes that can be used by the community when a disaster occurs. The output of this community service activity is a module for socializing the application of disaster management, scientific articles, as well as planning evacuation routes and handing over disaster evacuation tools.    

Disasters contain three basic aspects, namely: the occurrence of a threatening and destructive event or disturbance, the event or disturbance threatens the life, livelihood, and function of the community, and the threat results in victims and exceeds the community's ability to cope with their resources. Community Service Activities (PKM) Socialization of Disaster Preparedness and Simulation of Basic Life Support (BHD) in the Community in Ngkeran Village, Lawe Alas District, Southeast Aceh, was held on February 7-8 2024 with a total of 45 participants. socialization was provided by the community service team regarding checking response and emergency medical services, checking pulse, carrying out early CPR, and early defibrillation with AED. The extension participants seemed enthusiastic about the materials presented by the resource persons and were able to be actively involved, so this extension activity took place in a two-way system and many participants asked questions. The presentation of the extension material was followed by discussion, ice-breaking, and distribution of door prizes to participants who were active during the discussion activities.

Berlian Jasa Terminal Indonesia (BJTI) is a terminal port that serves container loading and unloading services at the port. One of the hazards that threaten the loading and unloading industry is the danger of fire. Fires can cause a lot of material and non-material losses. Efforts that can be made to minimize the danger and impact of fires are the implementation of an efficient and optimal emergency response system in accordance with applicable regulations and standards. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the emergency response system in an effort to prevent and control fires in the PT. Berlian Terminal Services Indonesia. This research is a descriptive qualitative research, with primary data sourced from direct observation and interviews, while secondary data obtained through a literature study of company documents. This research will explain how the implementation of the fire emergency response system in PT. Berlian Terminal Services Indonesia. The result of this research is that it can be concluded that PT. Berlian Jasa Terminal Indonesia has implemented a fire emergency response system in accordance with applicable regulations and standards, but there are still things that need to be optimized, such as the implementation of APAR inspections that are late in their implementation and the lack of intensity in fire emergency response simulations.

Background: Adequate level knowledge is necessary in providing proper first aid on chronic disease emergency. This community service aimed to improve the level of knowledge on chronic disease emergency management in Tibubeneng Village, North Kuta, Badung-Bali. Method: An-online-ninety-minutes-health education session was delivered to 22 participants using a PowerPoint and video media. Wilcoxon statistical analysis applied to know the mean difference of the knowledge level before and after the health education session. Result: Finding indicated no significant effect of health education of knowledge level improvement on chronic disease emergency management (p=0.78). Recommendation: We suggest conducting routine health education and interactive sessions such as simulation to enhance the knowledge on chronic emergency disease management.
